In order to resolve a terminological question, we are in the process of
voting whether to use the term "Type" or "Class" to refer to those
intensionally-defined groupings called: (01)
Class in Ontolingua and Protege
Class in RDF and OWL
Class in SUMO
Collection in OpenCyc
Universal in DOLCE
Property in Ontology Works' IODE system
--------------- (02)
The only contenders put forward are:
Type
Class (03)
if "type" then the subsumption relation will be subtype
if "class" then the subsumption relation will be subclass (04)
Thus far the preferences expressed have been:
Type 10
Class 4 (05)
I will tally the vote on Sunday night (Jan. 22nd).
If you have any preference and haven't yet voted, send me a note
directly: (06)
